Inter v Anorthosis

The two clubs meet in a competitive fixture for the first time.

Inter v Cypriot clubs

Inter face Cypriot opposition for the second time in their history
after the 1993/94 UEFA Cup round of 32 tie with Apollon Limassol. The
Nerazzurri progressed through to the round of sixteen thanks to a home
win and an away draw.

Details:
1993/94 Coppa Uefa Inter-Apollon Limassol 1-0 3-3

Anorthosis v Italian clubs

The Cypriots have faced teams from Italy on four occasions (all in the
UEFA Cup), losing all four games and conceding a total of 16 goals.

With his goal against Panthainaikos in Matchday 1, Adriano Leite
Ribeiro has become Inter's outright top scorer in the Champions
League/European Cup. The Brazilian has scored 17 goals in the
competition, one more than Sandro Mazzola (16 goals) and five more
than Julio Cruz (12). Hernan Crespo (11) shares fourth place with Jair
in the list of all-time scorers.

Inter goalless in one of last 17 games

Inter have failed to score in just one of their last 17 outings: AC
Milan 1-0 Inter on 28 September 2008. The Nerazzurri have scored in
each of the other 16 games, netting a total of 29 goals.

Italian clubs unbeaten, always on target against Cypriot clubs

There have been 18 past meetings between Italian and Cypriot clubs in
European competitions, with 15 wins for teams from Italy and 3 draws.
In these 18 matches Italian teams have scored 56 goals. On Italian
soil, Cypriot teams have lost 9 out of 9.

Anorthosis without away goal in cup for 257 minutes

Anorthosis Famagusta last scored away from home in Europe when Laban
scored in the 13th minute of their 3-1 away defeat to Rapid Vienna in
the Champions League qualifying round on 6 August. A total of 257
minutes have elapsed since that goal (remaining 77 minutes of that
match plus 1-0 away defeat to Olympiakos and 0-0 draw at Werder Bremen).

The ref: Howard Webb

English referee Howard Webb was born in Rotherham on 14 July 1971. He
has been an international referee since 2005. Matchday 3 at San Siro
is Webb's third of the European season after Fiorentina 2-0 Slavia
Praga in the third qualifying round and Shakhtar Donetsk 1-2 Barcelona
in Matchday 2. In 3 games refereed by Webb, Italian clubs have won 2
and lost 1. He has never taken charge of a game involving Inter or a
Cypriot club.

MILAN - Adriano headed in the winner as the Nerazzurri saw off Anorthosis Famagusta in Matchday 3.

The Brazilian striker, Inter's all time top scorer in the Champions League, took his tally to 18 with a well taken goal just before the break.

The result sees Mourinho's men open up a three-point gap at the top of Group B, with Panathinaikos drawing 2-2 at home to Werder Bremen in tonight's other match.

Anorthosis had the first shot on target with Francesco Toldo, in for Julio Cesar, making a punched clearance from Dellas' well struck free kick.

From then on in it was all Inter, and Stankovic tried a repeat of his goal against Roma at the weekend, scything just over from 25 yards.

Muntari had a shot saved by Beqaj's foot after a brilliant move involving Brazilian trio Adriano, Maicon and Mancini as Inter pinned back the Cypriots.

Front men Adriano and Ibrahimovic then had two chances each before the Emperor rose unmarked in the box to head home a cross from Maicon, who turned Savio in the box after Ibrahimovic's crossfield pass.

Anorthosis saw more of the ball after the restart and went close to an equaliser through Katsavakis in the opening minutes. But the Nerazzurri stayed in control and created chances to build on their lead, with Muntari heading over a Mancini cross and Ibrahimovic slotting wide of the far post before substitute Julio Cruz drilled inches wide in the final stages.
